The revelations in this piece are beyond disturbing. It’s almost as though a shadow government and influence network has infiltrated a wide spectrum of American society. AIPAC buying congressional seats. Rahm Emanuel, US ambassador to Japan, not attending the Nagasaki memorial because Israel was not invited. Israel expelling nine diplomats from the Norway for their work for Palestinians. It’s like a black listing of truth or information not complementary to Zionism. And now false allegations not being rescinded essentially perpetuating those very falsehoods. I hope this reporting finds a wider audience.

Actually, the Nagasaki memorial issue has worsened. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom will also not be attending. Evidently it is more important to stand with Palestinian genocide than commemorate atomic genocide. Reuters refers to it as an embarrassment to the Nagasaki mayor. I would flip that assessment to it being an embarrassment to the non attending nations.

An embarrassment is not strong enough. It's an affront to humanity, decency, and the necessary contrition that the US perpetrators need to never stop showing for their use of atomic weapons on two Japanese cities.

CBS “News” has been one of the worst offenders, promoting Israel’s POV and propaganda while barely acknowledging the Palestinians.

"It’s almost as though a shadow government and influence network has infiltrated a wide spectrum of American society." INDEED! That shadow government was there before JFK's time; he wanted to rid our gov't of it. The "it" is fascist, racist, very white centered, focused on world control. All readers or most note the number of moral, ethical, principled leaders, and the upcoming young, killed by police forces, assumably, in our lifetimes. All of those high profile murders/assassinations in my life time and recent, were killed doing one thing in common and that was to bring the power of the people that capitalism sucks the blood out of, together and say no. I will forever love how Fred Hampton, a 21 year old black American was targeted for his most excellent life saving talent of bringing together poor white people and "the black cause" as shared by poor whites, targeting a shared economic oppressor. The few videos I see of Fred makes me think him among the founders of "rap" and his was political and targeted and so right on.

We will see that young man's wisdom about power and how to turn it, someday soon, I hope, alive and well in the world. What a fabulous leader for a " justice for all" nation he would have been, as would have been his predecessors were they not assassinated; were had the will and love of a people been respected and represented; the world that might have been created, HAD ALL OF THEM LIVED, we, the entire world was robbed by some hidden world funded by our taxes and placing us on the edge of WWIII. Looking at it, some masked bs against terrorism, control of the ME seems paramount to Western powers, who very well may have contributed to demonization rather than democratic methods of exchange and fair trade with other countries whose leaders refused to sell the nation's wealth to private corporations.

These assassinated leaders around the world wanted to use its nation's geographical wealth to aide the people of their nation. No wonder the West's recent claims on the vote in Venezuela. Look up the world's oil and gold reserves and find Venezuela in the lead.
